Manaburning from a low level

i sugget you pull the dick out of your ass

[sb]

now thats a nice thing to say to a mod

Still good, but not the 10k or so that a solid TP burn even in the mid 60s can pull if they know what they're doing and have a great setup of well-geared players.

Yeah, the trouble with that comparision being, who wants a BLM in a TP burn party?

uhmmmm what?

I'm simply comparing what melees can earn nowadays in EXP at that range with what BLMs can earn in that range. And trust me, a death or two in a 3 hour session slows you up a LOT more than what you'd think when you're solo. And every time you switch camps, there's a learning curve to be made in the pull styles, spell combinations you'll need for safe killshots (once oneshotting is no longer a possibility), and the ever present competition factor for acceptable camps.

If there were even 50% of the camps available to solo BLMs that there are to traditional or meleeburn parties, I'd drop dead of excitement. But instead SE removes possible targets (see the alteration of qiqirns in Nyzule Isle at the last update I believe) for BLM solo exp, at the same time creating mobs which do not justify a skillchain and magic burst. Seems the screaming melees on Zam got what they wanted in destroying most of the manaburn situations- but they still want 17BLMs to burn their Divine Might runs because they can't manage a successful strategy for any endgame event that doesn't involve a fleet of BLMs- that they then don't invite/don't need for meritpo, exping.

No, what you said was

oh soloing is definitely a great option don't get me wrong.

However there comes a point where you WILL Get better exp in a party than solo....

and then the 10k an hour bit I quoted, which most parties in the 60's will not get.

I know what solo is, my first job was BST and it was far slower than what you can get on BLM (which I also soloed on a lot, and still do).

So you can't get exp as fast as a good tp burn pt? So what? You're still far better off than half the jobs in this game which can't get into a decent tp burn pt -and- can't solo like that either. Stop whining.
